Nothing in particular new other than the fact that Trump did not once refer to the Federal workers now on a Trump Created And Fully Responsible For Economic Rollercoaster. That I find very scary. Moving along, how was Stormy Daniel's speech? Rob

She just gets more impressive every time I hear anything about her. Not only did she apparently not throw up a little in her mouth at the idea of having sex with trump (admittedly I'm just assuming that. I suppose it's possible she did and he just handed her a tic tac and went on with business...) but she has a Kondo-like folding and sorting approach to laundry!? I bet she also dances as good as AOC!

My empathy for Federal workers is tempered by my many experiences of working without a paycheck myself. First, I realized that I was an essential worker and subject to continued work without pay during a government shutdown. And so I prepared for that eventuality by having an emergency fund which I could take supplemental money from while I was not being paid. In addition, I did not take loans (with the exception of a mortgage) that I could not either pay off or that my lender would not provide me with a deferment upon request. I had to go to my banker several times to ask for continued grace until the budget was passed. And further, the state provided a line of credit which I could use if I ran out of money.

So when Nancy and Chuck cry in their beer (or wine) over the starving government employees who are about to lose their house....I yawn. Perhaps we should just let the man build his wall and get on with the next crisis.
